Aunt Carol, may you now be whole.

Hello, for those of you who knew my Aunt Carol, she passed away Oct 16th. She was having some problems passing out for the last six months. Parts of her brain had atrophied and it was shrinking. The doctors were trying to figure out a way to stop the shrinking, but didn't feel it was life threatening at this time. I spoke to her a few weeks ago and she sound good, but tired and discouraged because the doctors couldn't find out what was wrong. My Uncle Mike got home from work Thursday night, and she was lying on the floor. It was an incredible shock. We won't know the cause of death until the autopsy report comes back. The family is doing as well as can be expected at this time.

More Blogging

I know I haven't blogged for a while. I realized, I don't really have a life. We go camping on the weekend, I stay at home with Trevor during the week, and I babysit 2 days a week. However, I have a new goal to blog more often, even if I have to make stuff up, (thanks Ivy for that suggestion)

Road Trip

So last Friday morning Rick woke up and thought "hey, a road trip would be fun, let's go to Denver, CO." So when Trevor and I woke up we got ready and left. We stopped for treats in Green River, Utah and picked up some brochures about Colorado, and also a map. So just after Palisade, CO there is a scenic tour called the wine loup. It goes up through Grand Mesa National Canyon, which is amazing. Everything there is so green and lush. Then we stopped at a couple of wineries, which are beautiful. Kept driving, and driving stopped at a winery/local store in Paonia, drove up through McClellan pass, which for those of you from Utah who think we have mountains, you have not seen anything until you see a mountain so high no vegitation grows towards the top of it. So we drove to Glenwood Springs, which has the largest hot springs pool, and had dinner. How was the hot springs? Wouldn't know we went and checked into our motel and swam in the coldest pool, until Trevor's lips turned blue, it took about 5 minutes, then we went back to our motel room and let Trevor swim in the bathtub.

The next morning we stopped at a few more wineries, let Trevor play with the animals, stopped at a fruit stand, and of course had to stop in Green River and buy a watermelon, which Trevor loved.

How was Denver you might be asking yourself? I wouldn't know. Our scenic trip took so long we decided to head home instead of keep going to Denver. How close were we to Denver? From our house it is about 7 hours we've been told. We were about 1.5 hours way from it. Guess we'll save Denver for another day.

Fixed It

For those of you who tried to click on the pictures of Alaina and it went to an error page, I fixed it. You can now click on the picture and it will link you to all the other photo's of her birthday party.

Who knew?

So for those of you who know me, you had better sit down. I actually did some canning yesterday. With apricots, hot water, bottles, etc. It was crazy. I didn't think I would like doing it very much, but I must say, I LOVE IT!! There is something so satisfying about seeing your hard work sitting on the pantry shelves. Of course, I am too emotionally invested in my canning, so the chances of anyone actually opening a bottle and being able to use it are slim to none, but it sure looks pretty. I have some pictures and will upload them when I get a chance.

And away we go

Allright, so I have uploaded a photo, some links to photo's, and look out world, here I come.

Trevor and Rick are making french toast for breakfast.

So a little up date on my life. We found a nice church to go to in Huntington, Utah. The Pastor there is amazing. He truly wants to help people and is really involved with the congregation. Rick and I had lunch with him and his wife on Sunday, where he asked me to be on the worship team. So I am now on the worship team for our church, good luck to me. Things are going well in Castle Dale, it is sometimes weird to be cack here.

It is hard to have Rick so very far away, but at least he only works 4 10's so he comes home Thursday night.

Trevor is growing like a weed. It is amazing how fast he can grow. One day he can barely walk, and the next day he is running circles around me. He is a joy everyday, even with the challenges and patience testers.

So this summer we have gone camping and 4-wheeling, a lot!! It's a good thing Trevor loves it as much as we do. I think he loves the fact that there is so much space to run around in and no matter how far he goes he can still see me.

Other than that not much is going on. I babysit a little boy twice a week, which is so good for Trevor. He was really starting to get that "first child" complex, where he thinks the world was made soley for him. I think this will make it a heck of a lot easier when/if we are blessed with another child.

Joining the Modern World

Alright, I did it. I bit the bullet and created a blog. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, however my friend Ivy is helping me. She has the patience of a saint, I am telling you what.
